Conceptual illustration: strategic complementarity and substitutability in protest participation. Panel a is of an exemplary nature to explain the mechanism underlying the experiment (linearity assumed here for simplicity only). Sub-graphs in the upper row depict the effect of adjusting beliefs regarding others’ participation due to the signal on the probability to participate in the protest. ‘Pre’ and ‘Post’ stand for beliefs regarding others’ participation before the intervention of receiving a signal and after the intervention, respectively. Sub-graphs in the second row depict the first derivative of the respective curves in the first row.
